Deshaun Watson’s Return
It has been a long time coming for this young man. Some may consider this a redemption story. Others may look at this as a second chance. No matter what, winning causes frowns to turn into smiles and causes us all to forget the past. The Cleveland Browns are 4-7. Jacoby Brissett hasn’t necessarily been great but he surely hasn’t been terrible either. He is who he is at this point. He’s a backup QB who can hold it down when times get hard for a short period of time. The Browns are now welcoming back DeShaun Watson after he has served his time. What’s even more significant about his return is the fact that the Browns will be visiting the Houston Texans. Now that the Watson Storm is behind them, the Browns can finally evaluate and figure out who they actually are on the field. No matter the case, props off to Jacoby as he took down the GOAT in OT this past week. One thing is for certain: The Browns finally have great depth at the QB position.
Is Travis Kelce The Best TE Ever?
When you think of the TE position, former NFL greats such as Rob Gronkowski and Shannan Sharpe comes to mind. You may think of Tony Gonzalez and Antonio Gates too. Perhaps you’re thinking of Mike Ditka as well because he certainly had a great career. There is no question or doubt that Travis Kelce is the best TE in the league at the moment. Let’s not even consider numbers or any type of stats here. Let’s look at the play on the field. The eye test is always a good one. Every time you watch Travis Kelce play, you typically see him in the end zone. He is a touch down machine. Not only that, he is always Mr. Reliable. I’m not referring just to Touchdowns or getting first downs. What I am referring to is the fact that he is always available and ready to play. He takes good care of his body. Playing with Patrick Mahomes is always a good thing that will work in your favor. Playing under a legendary Head Coach such as Andy Reid helps a lot too. But when you think of Travis Kelce, you think of a winner. All he does is win no matter what. When it’s all said and done, if Kelce continues down this path that he is on, he will be the best TE to ever play the game and that will be something we all will agree on because he looks unreal this season.
